Accord Recognizes Outstanding Individuals with Annual Awards Accord recently presented our annual Greatest Lives Awards for 2020. Due to COVID-19 precautions, the award ceremony was virtual and the awards were presented individually in March and April. These awards recognize staff and people we support for their outstanding personal and professional achievements and commitment to excellence.
Person-Centered Care: What Does it Mean? Accord is proud to be accredited in “Person-Centered Excellence” by the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL). But what exactly does this mean? This is a four-year accreditation that is earned through implementing CQL’s person-centered practices and completing rigorous evaluations. CQL is among the highest-marks of achievement for healthcare organizations and institutions in the United States.
Expression Through Music: Chanpraney’s Story Chanpraney Nhul began taking music lessons in grade school. When he first started with Accord’s Business Solutions program nearly a decade ago, he was inspired to begin playing music again when he noticed the guitars on display there. Chanpraney has since done paid piano performances for Maplewood Heritage Center, Sholom Homes, Episcopal Church Homes, and at Menards in the Midway. He has even started his own YouTube channel to share his music with a wider audience. When the pandemic happened, Employment Specialist Keith offered virtual piano lessons to Chanpraney to expand his repertoire. During one of his sessions with Accord Employment specialist Keith, Chanpraney pulled out his guitar.
Accord will be celebrating it's 50th Anniversary in August, 2021. Bringing Possibilities to life for 50 years.
